You sample space is to small. You can't say if Samsung is better then IBM because you've only tested one or two of each type.
Kind of like tossing a coin once. You conclude that "the Nickel landed tails up but my dime landed heads up. So if you prefer heads I'd say you should use dimes." Seriously. Remember that statistics class where they talked about confidence levels? You to need to test hundreds of drives before you can say anything about their reliability. But we can read about tests of thousand of hard disk drives. Backblaze owns and uses about 10,000 disk drives in their data center and publish what they find every quarter. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q1-2017/ Backblaze is not yet using SSDs but today almost all web hosting companies are using SSD.
